My flash won't charge. the yellow charge light won't go off when the camera is charged. The flash will pop open but won't flash. I have purchased and installed a new battery but it didn't solve the problem. Can anyone help?

Either the internal thyristor charging circuit has failed or the flash capacitor is unserviceable.Neither fault is worth repairing. Buy a small auto-exposure flashgun and use it in the hotshoe; they're dirt cheap and there are plenty of ...

The USB cord does NOT charge this camera, you have to take the battery OUT and place in in the charger that comes with the camera. If you do not have a charger, you can buy one on-line for about $20.00 ...

I bought a used canon xs from craigslist. I think a hard lesson learned already. Anyway the camera appears to be in great condition. The problem is whenever I take a picture it does not come out right. The colors are way off. Some colors look fine, blue will come out beige, gray or green. This is with the flash indoors or outdoors with just normal light and the camera on full auto. I called canon and they said it sounds like the sensor is going bad. Just wondering if anyone has any advic

The experts at Canon are probably right. But, check the white balance and make sure it is on "auto WB". Go into the camera menu and find "reset" to get the camera back to factory default settings. If it still doesn't work, then you probably need a se ...

I have a Polaroid Impulse QPS and it won't turn on anymore. Usually to take photos I open the flash and a little red light comes on next to the button that you press to take a picture. In a couple seconds it turns to green and I can take the picture, but all of a sudden the light stopped going on at all. so when I press the button, nothing happens. I was thinking maybe it's a battery problem, but I can't figure out where to put batteris in the camera! I got it used, so I've never done it be

My sony camera keeps making a strange noise at the lens everytime I go to turn it on and it stalls at the cyber shot opening. Then, once it decides to turn itself on after the lens goes back and forth, it comes up in a blurry backround telling me I have to turn it off and then on again but it keeps doing this in repeat

This is a mechanical problem with your lens and needs to be taken to a repair shop. ...

I believe I got salt water spray on my camera this past summer and now it is having various problems that come and go. Foremost is most pictures are washed out of color and there is horizontal lines in the pictures. Sometimes shutter doesn't open or close. Flash won't pop up. Running slow. Is this worth repairing or should I buy a new camera?

Salt water is corrosive over time and the damage is ongoing. Unless this is a very expensive camera, it probably isn't worth repairing. ...

Will a 1500 mAh battery work in a Kodak DX 7590? The original battery was a 1700 mAh. Everything else is the same as the original battery. I thought the original battery was going dead and wouldn't re-charge, so I bought a new battery. The camera acts like it wants to turn on, but doesn't. The power comes on briefly, but camera lens doesn't open. The ring around the settings dial flashes green., then turns to red, and shuts off. Please help!!!! I love this camera!!!

The answer is YES, the Kodak DX 7590 can be supported by a Li-Ion 1700 mAh battery. The only difference is that the 1700 last longer. Just make sure the one you just purchased is fully charged. Otherwise, exchange that battery from the store you b ...

Dropped approx. 3 feet onto carpet. Camera was on and lense extended. It would power up, get into capture mode and flash "sensitivity" and a green light LLC. After about 50 on & Off's the camera turns on but doesn't come out of playback. I have to open the battery compartment and close it then when I turn it on it will go into capture mode. When I take a picture it is washed out with lots of little vertical lines. Did the lense get knocked out of whack? Can I reset this? Any help will be ap

My camera is a Canon 400D. I put an external flash on it just few moments ago (canon speedlite 580EXII) and the flash wouldn't go off when i took pictures. So i took the flash off, but now the flash on the camera won't go. Can anyone help me?

Trouble in my camera: no flash while taking photographs even though it is set in flash position. As on opening there comes a blinking like'E:919'& flash symbol. It arose 2days back when I just opened to click a shot(press half the click botton).25 days ago I had faced the same problem & got repaired at SONY servicing center, Raipur. Just on the next use it problems again.What is the problem sir?

Flash capacitor doesn´t charge in a specific time. There may be more reasons. Camera remembers error state and do not use the flash even you turn it off and on. You can try to let it "forget" by resetting (initializing), but if problem persist, ...

My canon powershot s3 IS is taking really dark pictures. The only decent pictures I can take with it are outside in sunlight. Pics indoors come out dark and grainy. I flip up the flash, but most of the time the flash doesn't go off, like there is enough light. And then when it does go off, the picture is way too bright. Help please!!

This is not an answer. The S3 normally does not produce dark pictures, and I have seen this issue before. It has to do with a setting somewhere on that camera that needs to be adjusted. I wish I knew what that setting was/is as my wife's camer ...

It should work when you need it. Go in a dark room and try it. If it does not work then, you need to pop it out. Whenin doubt, use flash. It almost never hurts :>) ...
